Nopper registered Boxers is owned by Debbie and Keith Garland. We relocated from Newfoundland in 2002 and now reside in Toledo Ontario. We are just off Highway 15 between Kingston and Ottawa.

Our goal is to raise the healthiest boxers possible and therefore follow the feeding and rearing practices of Dr. Ian Billinghurst as outlined in his books “Give Your Dog A Bone”  “Grow You Pups With Bones” and “The BARF Diet”. This diet is fed raw and contains no commercial dog food. To learn more about this diet please see:  for a very FAQ. We give preference to people willing to follow this way of feeding.

We also believe in testing all our dogs for Heart Diseases, both SAS and Cardiomoyopathy; Eye Diseases; Hip Dysphasia; and blood disorders including Thyroid disease and vWD disease.  

We hope Nopper Boxers will be known not only for their good looks, but especially for their good health.

We count among our mentors Shirley Bell - Bellcrest Boxers and Linda and Rod Norris - Rodlin Boxers. Thanks to their generosity we at least know what questions to ask!

We are members of the Avalon Kennel Club, The Newfoundland (All Breed) Kennel Club, The Canadian Kennel Club, The Northern Ontario Boxer Club and The Boxer Club Of Canada.
